1. Access to the Archives of the Foundation
Access to materials is possible only after approval is granted by the Board of Guarantors of the Foundation, as indicated in the Regulations. This is due to the confidential nature of some of the documents, and restrictions on use in accordance with current legislation.
Scholars must fill in all parts of the consultation request form. This form is available at the archives of the Foundation. It must be approved and signed by the Director or by a delegate of the Director.
Students, both undergraduates and graduates, must present a letter of guarantee from their professor in order to request authorisation to consult material.
Authorisation to publish consulted material is dependent on the written approval of the Board of Guarantors of the Foundation and on the subsequent assent of the Governing Board, for reasons of confidentiality stated above.
To obtain authorisation for publication it is necessary to provide a research project, signed by the project director.
When possible, publication of the documents will be carried out by the Foundation, which has a series dedicated to this purpose.
Scholars must give the Foundation one copy of any published work that uses or cites documents from the archives of the Foundation.

If material from the Foundation is published by an external publishing house, the Foundation reserves the right to authorise publication while maintaining copyright.
